Symbols, Iran and the US

Written by Robert Bruce Baird

DARIUS: - Coins bearing his visage are found in Americas but we would never expect to see normal academic overviews mention this for public consideration. And I was not surprised when I read many other things about Aryans and supposed first Empires, as I read following part of a far larger presentation. Was US support of Shah connected to a larger and long term plan to manage plebs or serfs who think they are free?

“Cyrus recognized that "known world" he wished to conquer included Egypt, Carthage, Ethiopia, and Greek colonies on Mediterranean coast as far as Gibraltar, but for time being he thought he had better seize known world to east (except for distant, legendary China). In about a year he took lands as far away as what are now Turkmen Soviet Socialist Republic, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. He rushed west again and fell upon Babylon by diverting unfordable Gyndes River, a tributary of Tigris which protected city, into many shallow hand-dug channels. There he freed forty thousand Jews held in Babylonian captivity. A few years later, putting down a revolt in east, Cyrus died in battle. His troops brought his body back to Pasargadae, and laid it to rest in tomb with Nordic roof. {N.B.}

Cyrus was not only world's first great emperor; he was a humane man, who treated his victims benevolently, honored their gods, and set higher standards for profession of kingship than most other monarchs down through centuries. His son and successor, by contrast, was a brute who had earlier kicked his pregnant wife to death. He adored flattery, not blinking even when a courtier told him, ‘I do not think you are equal of your father, because you do not have a son like son he left behind.’ Nevertheless, before he mysteriously committed suicide, he managed to capture Egypt and pack pharaoh back to Iran. Upon his death, according to Herodotus, seven young nobles who formed imperial council met and agreed to accept as king him among them whose horse should neigh first at dawn next day. One groom made sure that his master would win by providing a delectable, neigh-worthy mare for stallion. In this way noble named Darius became king, although his own account of his ascent, which he left engraved on stone, differs in ways that do not make nearly as good a story.
